Crowley police had a warrant for Mott's arrest on a murder charge connected to an Oct. 9 shooting death.

Officers with the Beaumont patrol division, special assignment unit and narcotics unit went with the U.S. Marshals Service fugitive warrant squad to the 4600 block of Ironton about 9:15 a.m. and began surveillance of a house where it was believed Mott had gone.

"They confirmed that Mott was inside the house along with a 77-year-old male relative," Officer Rob Flores said in the report. "Officers called for the assistance of our SWAT team and hostage negotiators."

Mott was persuaded to leave the house and was arrested without incident.
